Another huge problem you're neglecting--you really can't block off outdoor spots from noises or other people.

You can click column headers to sort the table -- I was thinking that that would suffice in lieu of adding another column. Or do you mean a set-wide ranking (e.g. where this A-value ranked out of all teams that played the set)?
